What do the ink tank lights indicate?


There is an ink tank light for each of the 12 inks. Here is what they indicate depending on their status:

  • On - ink cartridge installed correctly and enough ink
  • Off - no ink cartridge installed or ink level detection function disabled
  • Flashing slowly - ink cartridge is low on ink (20% left per Canon support)
  • Flashing rapidly - ink cartridge is empty
